this is bbc news, the headlines: us media reports say president trump has decided to nominate the federal appeals court judge — amy coney barrett — to fill the supreme court seat left vacant by the death of the liberal icon — ruth bader ginsburg. the nomination comes weeks before the us presidential election. the late us supreme court justice, ruth bader ginsburg, has become the first woman in american history to lie in state in the capital building in washington. she was honoured during a private ceremony that was attended by family members and some officials as well as invited guests. one week after israel became the first developed country to implement a second national lockdown, coronavirus restrictions have been tightened yet again. the latest daily figure shows more than 8,000 new cases in the country — which now has one of the highest infection rates in the world.

local lockdowns are being introduced in three more areas of wales this weekend, the capital cardiff, swansea and clanethly. it'll mean close to half the welsh population, around 1.5 million people will now be under much tighter restrictions. 0ur correspondent, hywel griffith reports now, from cardiff. we've got to come to a decision by sunday. the logistics of lockdown can be painful. leigh and her grandson, corey, can't decide how they'll cope. it all depends on how long this covid lockdown lasts. they live separately, and so from sunday evening can't be under the same roof or leave cardiff. other relatives live in places already under lockdown, so they'll all be cut off. it's a travesty, isn't it? i'll be honest with you, i think it's going to have a lot of psychological effects. i think it's going to bring in a lot of loneliness, and i really am not looking forward to the second wave.

i think it's going to be twice as bad as the first wave. they endured the first time, but knowing that coronavirus has spiked again because some people failed to follow social distancing makes this even harder. do they not care about their family? is there nobody in their life that they love? are they realistically not going to be bothered if one of their family die of covid? it's frustrating. yeah, it really is. with cardiff, swansea and llanelli all being added to wales‘ lockdown list, by sunday evening almost half of the population will be under the tougher measures. and the entire nation's being asked to think twice before people travel anywhere. going to school or university is a valid reason, but as students arrive here for the start of term, they've been warned not to meet indoors with anyone not in their household. the measures reflect the seriousness of the position and we ask people to reflect on that in their own conduct and to avoid unnecessary contact with other people.

so just how serious is the second wave? hospital admissions are rising, but very slowly. at wales‘ largest hospital, they're braced for more serious cases soon. it's inevitable that we'll see a rise in hospital admissions. i suspect that will be a gradual increase in the weeks to come, so we may have a few weeks. we've been preparing all year. how long this will last is far harder to plan, but most here are preparing for the long haul. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. now on bbc news — the travel show. endangered jaguars... that is a predator, ladies and gentlemen, too easy riding dogs... predator, ladies and gentlemen, too easy riding dogs. .. at this point in time, she has got almost 3000 hours on a motorcycle. and the beluga whales they got a second

chance. there we go. this week we look back at some of our favourite animal encounters. hello and welcome to the travel show, with me, mike corey, coming to you from a mania actually. during my time on the programmer, i've come across some pretty ordinary animals. there are rantings in the malaysia and borneo. 97% of their dna shared with humans, and that is where they get the name, renting means man of the forest. swans and butterflies in —— swarms of butterflies in mexico. 0nly mountain alliance of los angeles.

laughs but first we start our look back with another big cat, this one in the wetlands in argentina where there are plans to introduce jaguars back into the wild. welcome to the island home of ri welding argentina, a product aimed at reintroducing this terrifying animal to the wild. 0h this terrifying animal to the wild. oh my god. guys, when you make eye contact with a base the size, your heartjust goes crazy. laughs she is a brazilian panther or a joke well. she is about six yea rs joke well. she is about six years old, quite young how will the wetlands and from introducing this beautiful animal? these animals were part of the existence. they have been here for hundreds of hundreds of thousands of years.

they disappeared from the wetla nds they disappeared from the wetlands and now this ecosystem is lacking from this top predator and of course we need to maintain it the great populations in natural numbers. imean, not populations in natural numbers. i mean, not making them increase so much. it is estimated there are only 250 while jaguars left across the whole of argentina. but for many locals, they still have a special, mystical significance. it is common that here, jaguars are related with bravery and masculinity and it is kind of related with the gaucho image. iam related with the gaucho image. i am allowed into the enclosure to prepare her meal.

0k, we have got a 0k, we have gota hanging 0k, we have got a hanging fish, one piece of mystery meat. ready to go? 0k. she looks a little bit, a little annoyed. normally, i don't think the food arrives this late. laughs if you look here, there are two trapdoors and i havejust if you look here, there are two trapdoors and i have just been granted permission to open them. wait, which one die open? both of them? i don't want to open the wrong ones. no, the blue ones. wow, look, here she comes. entering into the feeding enclosure. we have hung the fish up, let's see if she can find it. that is a predator ladies and gentlemen. wow! and breakfast

is served. the plan is to release the first jaguars is served. the plan is to release the firstjaguars by early 2021 and if you want to keep track of their progress, rewillding argentina post regular dates on social media. —— updates. now, we are off to the united states, the undisputed home of the cross—country road trip and it is not just the cross—country road trip and it is notjust us humans who are aching to get out on the open road again. my my name is michael and this is my dog socks, and we are currently travelling across the country. we are trying to visit every single state and every single national park in the country all on a motorcycle. it all country all on a motorcycle. it a ll started country all on a motorcycle. it all started when i actually went on a trip abroad and i wasn't able to bring go free

with me and when i got back, the greeting that he gave me, it was really heartwarming but it was really heartwarming but it also made me feel kind of bad because i knew that he was really u pset bad because i knew that he was really upset that i was gone for so long. so i rearranged my bucket list to do all of the things i can do with socks. his safety is my absolute, most important thing. at this point in time, he has now got almost 3000 hours on a motorcycle, and soiam 3000 hours on a motorcycle, and so i am not concerned with socks falling off because he knows how to shift his weight and hold on to me. every national park has blown me away, just the cosmetic beauty of it. looking across a landscape that you have seen nothing that looks like that in your life. and then of course, the fact that every single time iam the fact that every single time i am there and enjoying some sort of you and i looked down and my dog is doing the exact same thing. he is taking in the

experience just as same thing. he is taking in the experiencejust as much same thing. he is taking in the experience just as much as i am. don't go in there, it is too cold. you're going to be cold tonight. i am doing this because there are too many people that say, i wish i'd did in their life. i don't want to be one of those people. i want to say i did the things i wa nted to say i did the things i wanted to do and i don't want to wait until i am much older to wait until i am much older to say, ok, now i can go live life. to me, you don't know how long your life is going to be so you should just leave it. and i have to include him because he is leaving it to. —— living it too. michael and socks, getting the motor running in the usa. below, we definitely don't recommend trying that with your own four legged friend. now

we're going back to 2016 when carmen went to peru to join a tea m carmen went to peru to join a team returning rescue best of the wild. the andean bear is the wild. the andean bear is the only native bear species to south america. it is on the endangered list because of hunting and habitat loss. but here, in this area, they are doing something about it. this is peru's first private conservation area, set up jointly with the local community in 2000. it tries to rehabilitate rescued bears who have been captured illegally and mistreated as exotic pets or circus attractions. so this is what conservation is all about here, releasing a bear back into the wild. and i am lucky enough to be able to watch it happen. four —year—olds alisa was born in this reserve. this is her mother next door. yes. her mother next door. yes. her

mother was rescued from captivity where she had been kept as a house pet. sadly, she would never survive in the outside world. we're to sedate alyssa and set up a gps collar for her. the gps collar will now allow one to track elisa when she is released. he prepares a tranquilizer that he will shoot into elisa's muscles. his shot hits the spot and elisa seems confused. finally, elisa is sedated. now we are going to do a test, the

colla rwhy we are going to do a test, the collarwhy put the collar on, see if it fits. it is a race against the clock before the bear wakes up. 0k, against the clock before the bear wakes up. ok, so is that thejob done? bear wakes up. ok, so is that the job done? so what now? we shut the door and then... wait until tomorrow and then tomorrow we will release her. so it is a beautiful morning and today is the day we are going to release elisa into the world. iam going to release elisa into the world. i am super excited. is incredible to be close to a bear. there is no gate, there

is no fence separating us. she is no fence separating us. she is just there, is no fence separating us. she isjust there, a is no fence separating us. she is just there, a few metres away. from here on, elisa faces an uncertain future but the gps collar will track her whereabouts so juan collar will track her whereabouts sojuan and his tea m whereabouts sojuan and his team can see how she adapts to life in the wild. still to come on the travel show, we meet the beluga whales about to get a fresh start thousands of miles from home. the coronavirus outbreak has had a devastating impact on animal welfare groups also back in april, rajan spoke to a few to see how they were doing. so many people lose thatjobs abroad, where clearly not going to have donations so if things got really bad, we could be facing, you know, having to sell up. as you know, there is

a restriction. people have to stay home. the population you are working with, a population of mountain gorillas that is used to humans. it means if you lose a day of monitoring, it means that something else could happen like trauma or snares or sickness, that mike, we might lose an animal. that there is a lot more work for everybody, just to try and get the basics done. i think if we lost any more people, we'll be to really struggle stop it is something that we have been thinking about and planning for, not having to deal with. are now a few months later, we have spoken to them again to see if the outlook is any sunnier. we have been locked down now for nearly six months so there is no tourism at all in morocco. for the animals, is no tourism at all in morocco. forthe animals, it is no tourism at all in morocco. for the animals, it is catastrophic. we have donkeys and mules dying on the roadside from starvation. families can

hardly afford to feed their families, let alone feed their animals. and they set them free in the hope that they can survive. the refuge has seen an influx in horses. normally the horses would be used for tourism, raising much—needed funds for the animals's upkeep of the pandemic has meant this income has dried up. of the pandemic has meant this income has dried uplj of the pandemic has meant this income has dried up. i think we have now down to 400 and some of those horses are going hungry or ill or collapsing and what we have done at the refuge is do our best to raise money as we can to feed those that we can. the people from the village have been nothing but magnificent in their support of us. and everybody has rallied round and without our supporters we would not have been able to keep going, that is just been able to keep going, that isjust a been able to keep going, that is just a fact. been able to keep going, that isjust a fact. next to rwanda where one of the biggest fears of this conservationist is the transmission of a virus to the gorillas themselves. we are walking towards in my view the

risk of the virus getting to them. it is more logistics and more regular testing of our staff and mandatory testing of anyone that has come to this country. in march we heard about an increase in poaching. sadly, as conditions have worsened, this has persisted. we have seen an increase of numbers because people have lost theirjobs numbers because people have lost their jobs and numbers because people have lost theirjobs and they are going back to their traditions. the park management are trying to put on more park staff to control those sensitive areas. it is not so easy because the country doesn't have the money from tourism. when we spoke we had a few cases in rwanda. as we are speaking now we have more cases. and as i say the country has been more unintelligible but i don't know how much this is going to last.

and lastly to ecuador volu nteers and lastly to ecuador volunteers who stayed in this rehabilitation centre became the down legends. since we last spokein the down legends. since we last spoke in march the lock down legends volunteers have all gradually left us. so we are really quarantined us so it is harder work and we have a lot of new coming animals that were rescued by the ministry and brought into us so we are cramming all of the animals in and we have a lot to look after. it has been a slow process but right now we have three volunteers imminently coming next week which is brilliant and a couple more next month as well so they are slowly trickling in now which is brilliant news for us, it means maybe we can have a little holiday. that was a look at how some animal welfare groups are dealing with the ongoing crisis now before coronavirus worked across the globe cat went to iceland to visit two beluga whales before the big move to the open water

century of its kind. travellers contact with whales is often in divinity where they are kept for public entertainment. but i had heard that here in iceland the new kind of sanctuary was being created. there are so many beautiful coves and little inlets around iceland. why this particular place? it is a beautiful surrounding for them with the cliffs and kind of protecting them from the wind and the icelandic weather. and then also having the water temperature more like the arctic so where they would be found in the wild. two beluga whales called little white and little grey will soon be the first to be released into the bay. they had until recently been performing at an entertainment park in china but after the operators decided to end the practice, they tried to

find a new home for the animals where they could live out their lives. little white and little grey we re lives. little white and little grey were carefully flown on the long journey from china to iceland but they could not be released straight into the bay. they have for the last few months been acclimatising in the nearby sea life centre to the nearby sea life centre to the waters here and working with handlers to learn how to ta ke with handlers to learn how to take the final journey with handlers to learn how to take the finaljourney into the bay. 0h take the finaljourney into the bay. oh my goodness! wow! these are incredible! yeah. can i come down? yes. hello! they are so graceful in the water, aren't they? what do you love most about them ? aren't they? what do you love most about them? you know, beluga whales, kind of friendly animals, they won't hurt you and you can work with them peacefully and it's great fun

to work with them. they are beautiful, gentle giants. yeah. so which is the naughty one? grey. this one? yes. hello! go. you are so soft! you are so soft! i like you! this country's relationship with whales is complex. being one of just a few places in the world which still legally allows hunting the animals. but projects like this and the various whale watching experiences on offer, are ways to encourage understanding and protection. 0h! if you insist! if you insist! there we go! 0k,

ready for some good news? last month little grey and little white were successfully moved to the beluga sanctuary‘s bayside campus. the first time in almost ten years they've beenin in almost ten years they've been in the sea. wow! so next we're off to kenya with henry, where we see what impact the iconic 60s film born free had on conservation there. right. here i am. this place is amazing for many reasons but right up there has to be its most famous 4—legged daughter, the lion. she was the inspiration behind the film born free, the film about the lives of george and joy adamson was based on joy‘s lives of george and joy adamson was based onjoy‘s book which followed their attempts to rescue the often plain cup and train her to live safely in the

wild. so there she is. this is elsa's last resting spot, very close to the river where george adamson found her and the last moments were spent before she died. and, of course, joy‘s ashes were scattered around here as well. the film of alpha's life with a sensation around the globe. it made stars of george and joy and the aftermath changed conservation in africa for ever —— elsa's. the conservation trust still ru ns the conservation trust still runs a wildlife retreat and conservation centre in hell gate national park here in kenya. and the born free foundation launched by the film's two human staff will travers and virginia mckenna operates around the world. these are some of the snares we have collected in the last four months. here in meru it counts lion, hunt's approaches and clears the park of dangerous

snares. so what affected the movie born free have on conservation efforts here in kenya? i think born free film, it is by far one of the most captivating films that has ever been done. the specific end of the film, that is me and many other young people, you know? we continuously have to meditate about would continue doing what virginia has done all our life and what george did. it is a continued inspiration for us. not only at born free but across the conservation world. of course, i°y conservation world. of course, joy and george needed helpers. 0ne joy and george needed helpers. one of those wasjohnny baxendale. george's godson. he helped return the born free lions to the wild but used to come back up to their favourite

hau nts come back up to their favourite haunts for regular visits. are you ever endanger at all? never, there was no attacks and no issues. we knew very well that they would walk up to us and greet us in the most amazing way. the pair used to sit under this tamarind tree with warm beers. it doesn't ta ke with warm beers. it doesn't take long for the memories to come flooding back. just being with him and being able to work with him and being able to work with him and see how he absolutely handled his lions and how relaxed he was, and he had this amazing rapport with his environment. he was a totally in harmony with the environment. this is the born free country. this is where it all happened. unfortunately thatis all happened. unfortunately that is all for this week but we have got some great stuff coming up next week. christer is in germany where bavaria's famous oktoberfest may be cancelled but local beer

culture is still thriving. and don't forget you can follow us on social media. we are at bbc travel, basically everywhere. for now i am going to go to explore the city so from me mike corry here in romania, it is goodbye. hello. the last weekend of september won't be a particularly warm one, but for much of the uk, it'll be dry, there'll be some occasional sunshine. but there is one significant fly in the ointment — this area of low pressure which has pounded parts of eastern england, especially norfolk, with wind and rain to end the week. it will still be close by over the weekend. it will still be windy

and still a chance of seeing a bit of rain. it'll be cloudier compared with elsewhere. so this is how the weekend is shaping up — on the chilly side. some sunshine, but those strong winds particularly across parts of eastern england, they'll still be there as we start saturday, still with some outbreaks of rain lincolnshire into east anglia. elsewhere, clear, chillier. maybe a touch of frost to start the day in parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland. but across much of the uk, well, winds are reasonably light in comparison to eastern england. there'll be some sunshine. the cloud, though, across eastern england delivering some showery outbreaks of rain at times, especially the further east you are. and temperatures, well, mid—to—low teens, just maybe a few spots along the south coast reaching as high as 16 degrees celsius. the white arrows are the average speeds here. of course, they are higher the further east you are. we'll turn the arrows black and look at wind gusts, and 50—60 mph right along the coastline, just maybe easing a little later in the day but make no mistake, these will still be strong winds with big waves and,

again, cloud with some outbreaks of rain. and there'll be more cloud generally across central and eastern parts of england on through saturday night into sunday. could see a bit of drizzle, maybe south—east england, out of that. where you're clear, it'll be chilly again, and again parts of northern ireland, scotland and northern england will get close to freezing or a touch of frost as we start sunday. but again with some sunshine to follow. on sunday, we'll keep a fair amount of cloud across the midlands. across the eastern side of england, you could see a few spots of light rain. there's still a noticeable wind right along that coast in particular, just not as strong as it's been. the lighter winds elsewhere, you get to see a bit of sunshine, maybe turning hazy later in northern ireland. the temperature may be a degree or so higher. but as winds turn south—westerly into the start of next week, it will turn a bit milder. a bit of rain heading to northern ireland on monday, and further spells of wind and rain across the uk coming our way from midweek.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today: tributes to a popular and talented police officer killed at a custody centre in south london. sergeant matiu ratana was shot as a suspect in handcuffs was being checked in. we'll be live in croydon this morning with the latest. 1,700 students in manchester are put into lockdown at their halls of residence for two weeks after a spike in coronavirus cases. new measures come into force in parts of northern england and wales this weekend, meaning more than a quarter
